Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac Support for RDP 7.1 I have several users who are running Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac (version 2.1.1) who can no longer access Remote Desktop Services because the client doesnt support RDP 7.1. Download this app from Microsoft Store for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows Phone 8.1, Windows 10 Team (Surface Hub), HoloLens. See screenshots, read the latest customer reviews, and compare ratings for Microsoft Remote Desktop.

I had a peculiar issue with copying and pasting files from my local computer to a Remote Desktop session. I could copy and paste locally, but the option to paste would be grayed out on the Remote Desktop computer. There are several ways to solve this problem depending on what you are trying to copy and paste.

Clipboard
  1. Here's how: In Remote Desktop on your Mac select your PC in the 'My Desktops' section. Click the 'Edit' button (pencil icon). In the popup click the 'Redirection' button (folder icon; see image below). Check the 'Enable folder redirection' box. Click the '+' button at the bottom of that window.
  2. Nov 27, 2017  Download Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 for macOS 10.12 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. ‎Use Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac to connect to a remote PC or virtual apps and desktops made available by your admin.

Client Settings

  1. Right-click on the RDP icon that you use to connect, then select “Edit“.
  2. Select the “Local Resources” tab.
  3. Check the “Clipboard” option. To allow file copying and pasting, select “More…” and proceed to step 4. If you just need the ability to copy and paste text and not files, stop here and click “OK“.
  4. Select the “Drives” option. Click “OK“, then “OK” again.

  2. Select “Remote Desktop” Services.
  3. Select “Collections“.
  4. Select “Tasks“, then choose “Edit Properties“.
  5. Under the “Client Settings” tab, ensure the “Clipboard” and “Drive” is enabled.

Windows 2008

  1. Launch “Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration” from the server.
  2. Under “Connections“, right-click the connection and select “Properties“.
  3. Select the “Client Settings” tab, and make sure the “Clipboard” box is unchecked. If you want to allow copying and pasting of files, make sure the Drive selection is unchecked. Click OK when done.

I should also note that if you have all of these settings configured correctly and things still don’t work, you may need to restart the server or just kill the rdpclip process.
